About Ark Global

The original Ark Foundation was founded in the UK by Michael Quinn MBE an acclaimed and respected Chef at the top of his Career as Maitre Chef de Cuisine at The Ritz Hotel, London who through stress, pressure of work and unsociable hours, turned to alcohol. During his recovery he felt he wanted to put something back into the industry which for many years had provided him with work.

Following the success of the Ark Foundation in the UK Michael has decided to take his message to the world and Ark Global has been set up to meet this end.

Michael begins his international work delivering seminars in Australia 2008.

The seminar is not a finger-wagging anti drinking diatribe, but is more a promotion of how to achieve acceptable social drinking habits. It is an educational seminar dealing with the effects and anti social behavioural patterns produced by excessive drinking and drug use. Advice is given on how to recognise the symptoms of excess and how to receive help and information personally or for friends and family.

Who are the seminars aimed at?
- Students at hospitality colleges who will greatly benefit from this talk, being the most vulnerable and un-informed age group. They will be equipped with information on how to avoid peer pressure and how to cope with the pressures surrounding them in the working environment.

- Staff in Catering Departments of Colleges and Universities will become aware of how to recognise signs and symptoms of alcohol and drug misuse amongst their students.
